Petzl Pirana Descender FITS YOUR STYLE: Features three different braking positions to select from before beginning a descent. COMFORT IS KEY: Includes two extra friction spurs allowing friction to be varied during descent. DESCEND WITH CONFIDENCE: Reduces the risk of leverage on the carabiner gate due to poor positioning. STAYS PUT: Attached to the harness during rope insertion, to help prevent loss. SAFETY FIRST: The PIRANA helps prevent the formation of a lark's head hitch around the body and reduces rope twisting, without decreasing braking friction.
